ReadMe_RebuildAllIndexes Sample

11/05/2008 21:36:06

This sample works only with SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008. It will not work with any version of SQL Server earlier than SQL Server 2005.
This sample program lets you rebuild all the indexes in the selected database. This sample provides a console application user interface. It connects to the specified database on the current SQL Server instance by using Windows Authentication, and then iterates
through all the user tables and rebuilds the associated indexes on each table found in the database.
Samples are provided for educational purposes only. They are not intended to be used in a production environment and have not been tested in a production environment. Microsoft does not provide technical support for these samples. Sample applications and assemblies
should not be connected to or used with your production SQL Server database or your report server without the permission of the system administrator.

The sample package and data files that it uses must be installed on the local hard disk drive.

The AdventureWorks OLTP database must be installed.

The AdventureWorks database must be attached.

You must have administrative permissions on the AdventureWorks database. For more information about how to install samples, see "Installing Sample Integration Services Packages" in SQL Server Books Online.

Location

If the code sample was installed to the default location, the sample is located in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Samples\Engine\Programmability\SMO\RebuildAllIndexes
The C# solution for the code sample is located in the CS directory, and the Visual Basic solution is located in the VB directory.

Building the Sample

If you have not already created a strong name key file, generate the key file using the following instructions.

To generate a strong name key file

Open a Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 command prompt. Click Start, point to
All Programs, point to Microsoft .NET Framework SDK 2.0, and then click
SDK Command Prompt.-- or --Open a Microsoft .NET Framework command prompt. Click
Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft .NET Framework SDK 2.0, and then click
SDK Command Prompt.

Use the change directory command (CD) to change the current directory of the command prompt window to the folder where the samples are installed.
Note: To determine the folder where samples are located, click the Start* button, point to
All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server, point to Documentation and Tutorials, and then click
Samples Directory. If the default installation location was used, the samples are located in <system_drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Samples.*

At the command prompt, run the following command to generate the key file:
sn -k SampleKey.snkImportant: For more information about the strong-name key pair, see "Security Briefs: Strong Names and Security in the .NET Framework" in the .NET Development Center on MSDN.

Building and using the sample using the Command Line Compiler

Open a .NET Framework or Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 command prompt. Use the change directory (CD) command to change the current directory of the command prompt window to the solution directory that you want to work in.

Type the following command to build either the C# or the Visual Basic version of the sample:
for /r %f in (*.sln) do msbuild.exe "%f"

Building and using the sample from Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (optional)

From the File menu in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, click Open, click
Project, and then open RebuildAllIndexes.sln in the solution directory that you want to work in.
